My mother, sister, and I all exchanged very similar mirrors and shelves from Pottery Barn, which was a little eerie... apparently our shopping habits are genetic. I got a bunch of clothes and other boring stuff - but the kids got some really cool shit. Spencer got Robosapien, a Gamboy advanced, and several hundred (or thousand, I'm not sure, they're everywhere) Yu-gi-oh! cards. Ippy got a portable dvd player, lots of plastic jewelry and glitter powder, and a puppet theater that hangs in a doorway.

For my birthday/Christmas, my mom named a star after me (Virgo RA 13h18m33s D 06 46')
She wanted me to open something, so she got me a tin of pistachios and a hand made bowl that I am to pass down in the family. My boys went in together and got me the collectors edition DVD of Spiderman2 and got Husband a 700 piece jigsaw puzzle and glue to make it stick. I'll post some pics on my webpage. Mostly, I had a nervous breakdown that had Husband worried for a few hours, because someone threw a rock and shattered my driver's side car window. It didn't break OUT, so they weren't trying to break in, they just wanted to cause distruction. Merry Christmas.

Showing that they both care about me, both Jacquelita and Katkeeper got me black-colored jackets. Different types of jackets, for different conditions/situations, so it's actually great: one fleece, and one leather. My previous jackets were in poor condition and/or showed my poor fashion sense.

I was going to make a witty comment about no matter how cool a bass player you are, you're still a programmer at heart. Then I realized that the fashion senses of extremely cool bass players and programmers are effectively similar, as are many other of their personal habits ...
Nothing to see here, move along.

I got a bunch of nice stuff, but was most excited with a kitchen garbage can I got. I know. A garbage can. But it's really nice. It's a foot pedal one that actually opens up past vertical. When you take your foot off the pedal, the lid slowly drops down with a dampener. The can (and lid) are made of metal, which is heavier, so the can won't shift around when you step on the pedal.
It just works.  I don't want to know what my wife paid for it, but I was shocked when I looked for this picture and saw what they charge on-line. |

I took the $20 megamall gift card, combined it with a $25 card I got from my employer for my one year of employment (wheeee!), and spent them both very, very wisely.
I am now watching The Who at the Isle of Wight Festival 1970 in 5.1 surround, digitally restored, and sonically remastered by Townshend himself from the original 8-track tapes. There's a reason I play guitar the way I do. It is Pete's fault. Everything I arrange or hear in my head tends to be affected by my Who affliction. Watching this video reminds me why. They are all so young. Entwistle is the greatest rock bass player of all time. And no one...*no one*...compared to Keith Moon. He was freaking inhuman. I also bought "I Robot", and will enjoy that in bed tonight. As I said, I spent my gift cards wisely.

Anything you can enjoy in bed, is a wise purchase.
